All games were drawn at Linares on round 8. Aronian - Svidler only lasted 16 moves.

Anand never seemed like he was really fighting for a win in his game against Topalov, but Morozevic - Carlsen was a tough fight.

Ivanchuck was never in trouble in his game and he achieved equality rather easily:

Anyway, instead of 38...Kd6 black might have tried 38...b5, but the position is still drawn: [38...b5!? 39.cxb5 a)39.Kd3?? bxc4+ 40.Kxc4 (a)40.bxc4 Kf4-+) 40...Kxe4 41.Kxc5 f5-+; b)39.a4?? bxc4 40.bxc4 a5!
